See you at KubeCon + CloudNativeCon NA 2024!

Bill Doerrfeld | November 5, 2024

I'm excited to return to KubeCon next week!


I had a great experience at KubeCon + CloudNativeCon NA in Chicago 2023 and look forward to the Salt Lake City edition. I'm excited about the co-located events, sitting in on certain talks, meandering the showcase area, nerding out with CNCF project maintainers, and attending some post-show events.


I've also lined up a number of interviews around some pressing topics I hope to cover for the publications I contribute to. Some of these topics include:


- Is Kubernetes getting more usable? How so?

- How eBPF changes container networking

- Cloud-native open-source economy outlooks

- How to get platform engineering right for developers

- API industry trends for 2025

- Is WebAssembly ready for the enterprise?

- Will AI-assisted development be normalized in 2025?


If you have any leads or interesting perspectives for my coverage, feel free to reach out to me here.
